A website editor so simple the owner updates it without any help
She has no tech skills and very specific ideas. Built with Claude over a week of evenings: drop a folder with text and images, preview it at home, click to publish. She has exactly the site she wants.

What they did
Built a static site generator with Go, JavaScript and git, vibe coding with Claude, for his wife’s business. She has no tech skills but very specific ideas about how the site should work. She adds a folder with a Markdown file and images on a network share; a Go program on the NAS regenerates the site and serves a preview, and a click commits and publishes it.
How it went
It took over a week of evenings to set up. She has exactly the website she wants, didn’t have to learn anything new, and has been happily adding to it regularly without his help.
Try it yourself with Claude
Build a simple website system for a non-technical person: they add a folder with a Markdown file and photos to [shared folder], a script turns it into a page on the site, they can preview it on the home network, and one button publishes it. Use [static site host], keep the design to [style], and write instructions they can follow without me.
A starting prompt written by Agents in the Wild. Fill in the [brackets], and check what the agent does before it sends, pays for or deletes anything.
A browser game where you answer with a power of ten leans on Claude for code and content: fact checking answers, writing explanations, and inventing new questions.
For syncing epub and audiobook files, they had Claude implement forced alignment using a CTC transcription model. It aligns a 60 hour book's transcript in 20 minutes, even with dirty source data.
A new live-coding tool, Strudel, and no experience using it. Claude wrote the starting code, including sample filenames that turned out not to exist, then restructured it for live performance once it was tweaked by hand.
They wanted a blog article turned into a video without losing control of the text. Claude built a recording app to screencast the article's diagrams and add titles. It worked, but it still took them many hours.
They gave Claude the video, its audio and ffmpeg, and asked for a code-only recreation. One pass, under an hour, and only the end logo differed. The writer calls it "just an experiment".
She invented the rules, the name and the board: words climbing from 3 to 7 letters in a pizza-slice shape. Claude turned her design into code, and it became a real daily puzzle over a weekend.
